    It was in the DT the other day. Numbers from Eastern Europe have been enormous. 300k plus in a year from memory. Who is surprised except the home office? Not them either, probably. F* liars!

    No major problem with the likes of Poles/Hungarians as such, white and with a similar European/Christian tradition and unlikely to give rise to any of the social problems that other groups do. Unlike those from disparate and backward third world cultures, especially tulipe Muslims who are dragging our free and permissive society back to the dark ages.

    Apart that is, from the catastrophic effect that increased population has on our environment and our quality of life, esp in the SE.

    For what?? Immigration of the unskilled and low paid has no earthly economic benefit for Britain. The claims of economic benefit are illogical, nonsense, bollocks, rubbish, drivel, tripe, utter crap.

      It doesn't matter whether they are Poles, Pakistanis or Portuguese - 300,000 extra people in the country means we need two and a half more Lutons to house them. Where should we build these monstrosities?

        "Oh no, not another finnish again"

        That was what swedish people thought about finnish people when finland was a poor country and a lot of poor people went to Sweden to look for a better life. Do you hear now that there is any criminal horde from Finland? I doubt it now that Finland is one of the richest country in the world.

        Perhaps there are more criminal from Poland rather than english ones (would say perhaps though, as we always like to overrate the wealth of England, neglecting that mostly it's concentrated in some urban areas and not well spread across the country). But the reality is that criminalising a nation is something that shows as much humanity as fungi, but nonetheless it's also true that those criminals will come anyway as they normally work behind organised bands who will eventually give them false passports and any cover they ever need. Maybe I feel it more as coming from a nation which has always been seen as made of mafia gangsters (and still some people like to think of it) but yet how many italian gansters you find now around the world? They have been replaced by poorer people. How about the english bulldog? It was the most aggressive and cruel dog because he was used in fights not a long ago. Take a few generations off this usage and now the english bulldog is a sofa pet. That said, I have never had anything against the english bulldog being bred abroad.

        I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

          I blame the bloody Italians. It was them what first come over here building roads and towns all over our countryside.

          BTW it's "bred".

          Unless you mean that johnny foreigner eats bulldogs.

              I highly doubt it - Poland had bad reputation in Tsar Russia since they were the only foreign country (beyond Mongols) to occupy Russia and actually install their own Govt - it was fake Prince Can'tMindHisName married to Polish princess and supported by Polish armed forces who had to run in about 2 years time.

              Personally I have nothing against Polish people, in fact I probably have some polish roots myself since my name ends on -sky, which is rather typical in Poland as well as Russia since lots of people there must have taken Polish surnames.

              Having said that I know two English guys here who got married to Polish girls few years ago and seems to be extremely happy - they are IT guys and I suppose here its like they have married models

                Oh well, when I heard that it was a Russian colleague saying it, but since he was saying it to a pretty Polish collleague, maybe he had a motive for saying it?

                  My last two cleaners were Polish, the current one, Polish too, is very attractive. She can't clean but still has a job......no complaints there.

                    If you think of all the nationalities and ask which is the most preferable country from which to import people it would more than likely be the Poles. They have a reputation for hard work, and for just getting on with life. I do not understand why we need to import/transfer Indian software people when there are probably hundreds of thousands of intelligent graduate level IT people in Poland.

                    I have also yet to see any stories of them signing on for benefit even though their one years time allowance is now up.

                    The question I ask is where on earth are they going to live? and why not send all the welfare scroungers to live over there where it is cheaper to live, thus freeing up some housing over here? now there's an idea
                    Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone

                      Guys, you all really seem to be missing the point again,
                      yes theres some nice looking Polish women, yes they make
                      nice bread and yes they bring lots of vodka.
                      But a) do you have a nice looking Polish women,
                      b) are you sampling there wares
                      and c) why the feck do we need more foreigners regardless,
                      blah blah blah.

                      The simple answer is to deport yourself.
                      Unless of course your one of the lucky ones....
